    • Solid tumors: at least 14 days after local palliative XRT (small port); >= 6 weeks must have elapsed since treatment with therapeutic doses of metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG); at least 150 days must have elapsed if prior total body irradiation (TBI), craniospinal XRT or if >= 50% radiation of pelvis; at least 42 days must have elapsed if other substantial bone marrow (BM) radiation
    • ALCL: at least 14 days after local palliative XRT (small port); at least 84 days must have elapsed if prior TBI, craniospinal XRT or if >= 50% radiation of pelvis; at least 42 days must have elapsed if other substantial BM radiation
  • Stem cell infusion without TBI: no evidence of active graft vs. host disease and at least 84 days must have elapsed after transplant and >= 42 days for autologous stem cell infusion after iodine (I)131-MIBG therapy
  • Patients must not have received prior therapy with crizotinib
  • Prior anthracycline dose: patients with a total lifetime cumulative anthracycline dose of > 650 mg/m^2 at the time of enrollment are not eligible for Part B of the study

• For patients with solid tumors or ALCL without known bone marrow involvement:

  • Peripheral absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >= 1000/mm^3
  • Platelet count >= 100,000/mm^3 (transfusion independent, defined as not receiving platelet transfusions for at least 7 days prior to enrollment)
• Patients with known bone marrow metastatic disease will be eligible for study provided they meet the blood counts (may receive transfusions provided they are not known to be refractory to red cell or platelet transfusions); these patients will not be evaluable for hematologic toxicity; if dose-limiting hematologic toxicity is observed, all subsequent patients enrolled must be evaluable for hematologic toxicity
